Toyota have been claiming thier solid state battery cars were coming in the next two years for about 8 years now.
They make Elon time look like Scotty time.

I know orcas aren't whales and don't have tails and asteroids don't wonder if "ground" will be friends, but I had defo Douglas Adams vibes from the title.

I'm still not sure where to put myself.
In terms of descriptive ethics, there seems to be a common core that different belief groups agree is bad/undesirable/not admirable, which maybe fits something like 'harmony' or 'empathetic cooperation'.

I'm also not entirely sure Hume's guillotine is all that safe. That's because I'm not sure that there's non normative reason - one can describe our brains as made of 'proto-normative' neurons that fire lots with "good" inputs, and shun "bad" inputs - which in a sense would make all our reasoning a bit normative.

Part of me thinks that we shouldn't need a non moral reason to be moral - if that makes any sense.

Couldn't the answer to "why be moral?' just be "because it's the (morally) right thing to do" - should we expect or need a non moral reason to be moral? So maybe if that's circular, in this one instance i'm not uncomfortable being circular...

There's a communities item, but some instances require that somone searched for that community by url (the full url of the community) on the instance main page before searching for the community in Jerboa will work. Be better if the Jerboa community search just scraped some master list or something.

So if I understand this right noone's using full QCD calculations 'cause it's too hard.
What kind of size quantum computer would you need to do the full QCD of a helium atom?
